But what about germy planes?

Jay Jones' review of the Kangopack ["Trip Stress-Busters," March 22], described as an "antimicrobial fabric barrier" that travelers use to line the bins that hold shoes and other items passing through X-ray machines at airports, left me howling with laughter.

A traveler concerned about contacting unwelcome "microbes" from such bins shouldn't be traveling. Such fearful people should never leave their antiseptic homes, much less travel with people in sealed tubes at 35,000 feet.
